Reading List: LimitedPressing CEO Nick Mango

In Reading List, we ask ecommerce professionals to share some of their favorite books and blogs and tell us why they read them. For this installment, we spoke to Nick Mango, CEO and co-founder of LimitedPressing, a hosted shopping cart and social community for musicians and music labels founded in 2009 and based out of Long Island, New York.

Mango’s Top Five Recent Books

“This book is by and about 37signals [the providers of online collaboration tools]. It’s a great way to understand how an extremely popular and profitable Internet business came to be. It definitely helps us on a daily basis.”

“Marketing genius. We’ve based a lot of what we’ve done to grow LimitedPressing on Godin’s ideas, talks, and books. There’s a reason why he can talk at the TED Conference whenever he wants. It’s because everyone wants to hear what he has to say. Simple as that.”

Mango’s Top Five Blogs

“This is a great blog from John Gruber, an Apple expert and all around smart guy. He’s also like the Nostradamus of the tech world. When he predicts something, you can be fairly certain he’s going to be close or spot on.”

“The blog from 37signals, the providers of online project management software to the Internet stars. This is where they talk about everything from Ruby code to business ideas. It has seriously helpful tips along with cool information about where 37signals could be headed in the near future.”

“Dan has been a real force in the tech world for as long as we can remember. Recently, he started a podcast network where he interviews some of the smartest minds in world of successful Internet companies. You know the saying, ‘Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it?’ Well, at LimitedPressing we have a different saying, and it goes something like this, ‘Those who don’t create the future are just plain doomed!’ If you want to be a part of the future when it happens, then you better be up on all things Dan Benjamin.”

This is a guilty pleasure of ours. We’re collectors at heart. Especially, vinyl and shirts. Tee Till Death is dedicated to auctions currently happening on eBay. Specifically, auctions involving old and valuable t-Shirts, something that we love. We read this blog at least twice a day.”
